LYRICS Whispers falling silently, drift on the wind But I hear you... Our journey now a memory fading from sight But I see you... Unbroken, promises we made so long ago You're still here... Unspoken requiem for a river of tears Flowing, winding, toward eternal sea And yet our hope remains Guiding, lighting the way No time for mourning... (Morning) rises on a land reborn from the ashes 'Neath the heavens To sunset, blood-red skies tranquil after the storm Blessed shadow Turning, wending, always night follows day The sun will shine again Walk on, never look back Through you, we live... Tales of loss and fire and faith (Our slumbering demons awake) Every word on our hearts engraved (Hell take us, heaven can wait) In the dark, you will not stray (Disgrace, untold and unseen) Forge ahead till the end we pray (LYRICS FROM "To The Edge") Like broken angels, wingless, cast from heaven's gates (Our slumbering demons awake) We only fly when falling, falling far from grace (Hell take us, heaven can wait) And like a message in a bottle cast to sea (Disgrace, untold and unseen) Quick to their ends, our candles burn, until we're free
So my little puppy is in the ER right now and it's touch-and-go. I'm just waiting and stressing, but hearing your cover of this song is giving me hope. So thank you for this.
@Ahshan Dhrubo I'm not sure why you feel that way, but you're entitled to your opinion for sure. To me, Endwalker was probably the most fulfilling chapter of the story.
This is honestly my favourite cover of Closer in the Distance now, BECAUSE of how you've arranged it, the passion put into the performance, and the addition of other motifs and lyrics that perfectly capture the emotions of this song, and its story as a whole.
Another beautiful rendition! My lore research may be hard to go through sometimes, but I'll be #$%@ed if FFXIV doesn't have some of the best music I've heard in all of gaming.
I will never forget absolutely balling hearing this for the first time while playing through Endwalker. FFXIV is our home and we will all defend our home!! 💙💙💙💙
TO THE EDGE FITS SO WELL WITH CLOSE IN THE DISTANCE AND YOU HAVE MADE ME QUAKE AND CRY VIOLENTLY 😭😭 Well done, both of you, this is my new favourite cover of Close in the Distance
So beautiful, well done!! Also I hope i’mnot the only one who was imagining this, but with the way Lollia was dressed for this it gave me vibes of Gaia (and by extension Loghrif for the To the Edge section), from the Shadowbringers raid story, being the one singing this which honestly gave me so many goosebumps.
@@lollia_official oh thats neat! I meant no offense with that comment, I figured what your costume reminded me of was unintentional anyway so it's still awesome regardless!
oh my, I cried like a BIATCH!!! EVERYTHING IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! OH DEAR!!! I felt really upset these few days but this song really healed me😭 everthing is so awesome!! VOCAL ,VIDEO, ARRANGEMENT, GUITAR!! EVERYTHING!!
I listen to a lot of covers of music from FFXIV, and I have to say -- from the visuals, to the arrangement, your performance, and the choice to include "To The Edge" -- this is easily my favorite iteration of "Close in the Distance" and I keep coming back for more.
Thank you, it's been a really rough week for me and this song just reminded me once more there's more after the darkest of times, we just gotta take the next step 💜💜💜💜
Omfg flowing into “to the edge” you just made this so much more of a master piece ❤ such a beautiful cover of what has to be the expansions most impactful song ❤
I don't remember ever being a part of a video game community that reveals to such a high degree the stunning level of talent human beings actually have (art,music, etc.). Great cover!
"If you like i'll tell you a tale, a tale of a world on the brink, of a people that never gave up on a future. Of a man who realized his grandest dreams, and than awakened to a grander reality"
Great job. I love this song so much. The way it builds as you progress through the area. Gave me a funny feeling everytime I went there for ages after.
I think this is my favorite cover of this song yet. The mix with To The Edge was a really incredible touch that really enhanced it all and you have such a lovely singing voice.
Damn, you will never cease to amaze and awe me, another beautiful tear jerker from you. Being here as part of your community for as long as I have (feels like forever) I don't know why, but it's kinda weird to see you go from small little radio streams here on youtube, to full twitch streams and amazing collaborations with amazing people! It makes me happy to see you succeed and grow your career more and more! I'm really glad I stuck around, thank you so much!
There are two possibilities imo for who the singer is. The warrior of light singing to their fallen allies, or said fallen allies singing to them, a prayer from beyond non-existence, a single minded wish Survive
That mashup of To the Edge just makes me want a full cover of the song, your voice is wonderful! I'm not even sure I've heard or found a female cover of it
When I first arrived in this area of the game the music was static not very clear but the further you got it started to clear up, I have to admit when I heard the song I did get teary. You done a awesome cover of this song fellow warrior of light.
this was absolutely beautiful from the beginning and a powerful build up to "tales of loss and fire and faith"...and then To The Edge. Holy crap. I was blown away. I'd also love to hear you do the full To The Edge now.
J'ai rarement ressenti de tels frissons de bonheur en écoutant une chanson ! J'adore déjà l'originale, et cette reprise est encore plus belle ! Merci merci merci !!!
Beautiful cover. Once again, you blow me away with your FFXIV covers. I seriously rarely hear good FFXIV covers on par with the quality of yours. Its also rare that i enjoy when people mix two songs in one of their covers, i love it. So please let me say. May you sing in the light of the crystal!
You really nailed this song. Like seriously your timing, cadence, and intensity was just spot on, and I really love how dedicated you are with your covers. You sing in a way that really captures the essence of the original track, and it’s just amazing to me how well you do it. I can tell your years of singing have only made a great singer into a phenomenal one. ✨
LYRICS
Whispers falling silently, drift on the wind
But I hear you...
Our journey now a memory fading from sight
But I see you...
Unbroken, promises we made so long ago
You're still here...
Unspoken requiem for a river of tears
Flowing, winding, toward eternal sea
And yet our hope remains
Guiding, lighting the way
No time for mourning...
(Morning) rises on a land reborn from the ashes
'Neath the heavens
To sunset, blood-red skies tranquil after the storm
Blessed shadow
Turning, wending, always night follows day
The sun will shine again
Walk on, never look back
Through you, we live...
Tales of loss and fire and faith (Our slumbering demons awake)
Every word on our hearts engraved (Hell take us, heaven can wait)
In the dark, you will not stray (Disgrace, untold and unseen)
Forge ahead till the end we pray
(LYRICS FROM "To The Edge")
Like broken angels, wingless, cast from heaven's gates
(Our slumbering demons awake)
We only fly when falling, falling far from grace
(Hell take us, heaven can wait)
And like a message in a bottle cast to sea
(Disgrace, untold and unseen)
Quick to their ends, our candles burn, until we're free
No no, you don't get to sing "a fire", and even make that your own pinned comment, and not acknowledge that you screwed that up in the recording lol
I'm really thankful that you put the lyrics in the captions for this video. I just wish you did that for Footfalls and Tomorrow, too.
*gently sobs in tales of loss and a fire and faith*
I love your voice this is a great/amazing/beautiful cover Lolla
So my little puppy is in the ER right now and it's touch-and-go. I'm just waiting and stressing, but hearing your cover of this song is giving me hope. So thank you for this.
@@SlackersForHire Oh no I'm very sorry to hear that I hope everything goes well
Right there with you, what a song...
Violently cry while walking the road with Alphinaud and Alisaie by my side
Me: **sitting here, minding my own business, enjoying this beautiful cover of a beautiful song**
Lollia: To The Edge btw
Me: **cries in Amaurotine**
Nice that you caught that. Had me wondering for a moment where the lyrics in the end came from.
I, for one, would like a cover of that from her.
"Do not despair, you are not without allies!"
That line is what got me into tears, it was the final blow for me
"If you need a push, I'll be right there behind you!"
The switch to - To the Edge - caught me off-guard. *silently weeps from the feels*
I like to call Endwalker Feelswalker, and this reminds me why. You nailed it perfectly.
Yeah, this has my vote as the new name for sure.
for some it is Feelsstomper
it kicks you every few levels :)
From Tearsbringers to Feelswalker. What a ride
@Ahshan Dhrubo I'm not sure why you feel that way, but you're entitled to your opinion for sure. To me, Endwalker was probably the most fulfilling chapter of the story.
Final Fantasy fans, throw yourselves once more into the pyre
"Let expand and contract, tears become rivers"
We never left
The "To The Edge" at the end is such a cool detail!!!! Awesome cover!
big fan of the last bits with the To The Edge lyrics tbh
This is honestly my favourite cover of Closer in the Distance now, BECAUSE of how you've arranged it, the passion put into the performance, and the addition of other motifs and lyrics that perfectly capture the emotions of this song, and its story as a whole.
Another beautiful rendition! My lore research may be hard to go through sometimes, but I'll be #$%@ed if FFXIV doesn't have some of the best music I've heard in all of gaming.
began to sob hysterically immediately. you nailed it, as per usual. ♥
HNNGGGG THE ADDITION OF TO THE EDGE IS BREAKING MY SOUL
I had NO IDEA those songs worked so well together omg
AAAAAAAAH YOU BOTH ARE FRIGGEN GORGEOUS IN THIS!!!!
You did absolutely amazing gurl, your voice resonates so well with this!!! :D
I will never forget absolutely balling hearing this for the first time while playing through Endwalker. FFXIV is our home and we will all defend our home!!
💙💙💙💙
God, yeah... I just curled up and the game threatened to kick me out
TO THE EDGE FITS SO WELL WITH CLOSE IN THE DISTANCE AND YOU HAVE MADE ME QUAKE AND CRY VIOLENTLY 😭😭 Well done, both of you, this is my new favourite cover of Close in the Distance
I didn’t think this song could make me cry more than the original does but adding To the Edge lyrics did it.
How you subtly mixed in To The Edge as backup lyrics before fully embracing it in the end. Masterfully done, I audibly gasped. Love this cover!
So beautiful, well done!! Also I hope i’mnot the only one who was imagining this, but with the way Lollia was dressed for this it gave me vibes of Gaia (and by extension Loghrif for the To the Edge section), from the Shadowbringers raid story, being the one singing this which honestly gave me so many goosebumps.
I'm cosplaying my wol lmfao
@@lollia_official oh thats neat! I meant no offense with that comment, I figured what your costume reminded me of was unintentional anyway so it's still awesome regardless!
@@alyssaayy haha it's all good fam
This is STUNNING, THANK YOU for this amazing cover!!! ^-^ Never stop your inspirational work! AAA!!
oh my, I cried like a BIATCH!!! EVERYTHING IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! OH DEAR!!!
I felt really upset these few days but this song really healed me😭
everthing is so awesome!! VOCAL ,VIDEO, ARRANGEMENT, GUITAR!! EVERYTHING!!
your voice fits this song so well, beautiful as always Lollia

Thank you, it's been a really rough week for me and this song just reminded me once more there's more after the darkest of times, we just gotta take the next step 💜💜💜💜
Simply gorgeous cover! Thank you so much for sharing this.
I'll be crying softly to myself for the remainder of the week.
MAGICALLLLLLLLLL!!!! This is so beautiful!!!! 🎇
That seamless merge with the shadow ringers lyric is just.... *Chef kiss* exquisite.
Omfg flowing into “to the edge” you just made this so much more of a master piece ❤ such a beautiful cover of what has to be the expansions most impactful song ❤
The feels just came like a tidal wave with this cover so beautiful and precious, tears were shed this day. Your voice is magical!
Whoever decided to mix Close in the Distance and To the Edge is a Genius.
LOVE THISSSS 💗💗
I LOVE the bit of to the edge at the end, what a great surprise to an already amazing cover
Your videos keep getting more and more incredible girl!
Excellent work! :)
I don't remember ever being a part of a video game community that reveals to such a high degree the stunning level of talent human beings actually have (art,music, etc.). Great cover!
We do it for those we've lost.... for those we can yet save.
"If you like i'll tell you a tale, a tale of a world on the brink, of a people that never gave up on a future. Of a man who realized his grandest dreams, and than awakened to a grander reality"
This was Beautiful. keep up the good work and work at your own pace
Omg, Lollia!!!! This is so beautiful!!! I got the same chills I got in the scene where the song started to play in game!
Will be playing on repeat!
YESSSSSSSSS I've wanted this for weeks now!!!
I love it! I'm also crying, but I love it!
Great job. I love this song so much. The way it builds as you progress through the area. Gave me a funny feeling everytime I went there for ages after.
Never caught one of these at premiere time. I'm excited!
What a great cover! Thanks for making it.
I love how you added that last part into the song. It fits sooooooo well.
The mashup was unexpected but very welcomed. This added another dimension to a very feelsy song already. Great job Lollia thank you ♥
Thanks Master Lollia! Infinate prayers all children across the stars, God bless you all!
Yes Lola
I think this is my favorite cover of this song yet. The mix with To The Edge was a really incredible touch that really enhanced it all and you have such a lovely singing voice.
Such an beautiful voice and cover 🥰
Amazing processing and mastering - crystall clean sound!
Beautiful as always lollia!
This cover lives rent free in my head Lollia. Your voice fits perfectly.
Your passion and talent evoke such emotion. I feel you in every word, of every song you sing. Keep singing. Please, keep singing.
Damn, you will never cease to amaze and awe me, another beautiful tear jerker from you. Being here as part of your community for as long as I have (feels like forever) I don't know why, but it's kinda weird to see you go from small little radio streams here on youtube, to full twitch streams and amazing collaborations with amazing people! It makes me happy to see you succeed and grow your career more and more! I'm really glad I stuck around, thank you so much!
Awesome work on the cover! There were plenty of times where Endwalker hit me right in the feels, but this one probably hit the hardest of all
WOOOOW this is stunning!! you did such a wonderful job 😭💖💖 so glad i found your channel from alex's collab!!
Oof. Way to go re-awakening the pain inside me when I was doing the final walk. Dx.
Absolutely amazing work. Ten out of ten, you killed me. ♥
Ah yes... nothing quite like an FFXIV cover to remind me why you're my favorite voice on YT :')
Is it just me, or does this song seem like Venat is the one singing this? Also freaking gorgeous rendition!!!!
Yes, i agree. Very ancient like atleast.
There are two possibilities imo for who the singer is. The warrior of light singing to their fallen allies, or said fallen allies singing to them, a prayer from beyond non-existence, a single minded wish
Survive
This is amazing. And the way you included To The Edge... Can we get a full cover of To The Edge next? :O
What an absolutely incredibly cover!!!!
That mashup of To the Edge just makes me want a full cover of the song, your voice is wonderful! I'm not even sure I've heard or found a female cover of it
rarely do FFXIV covers hit the mark but this one was beautiful! thanks for the beautiful composition and the treat at the end of the song
this had made my day. another fantastic spin on some good ass music.
This is beyond beautiful and melodic! Thanks so much for this positivity today!
Man the added but of to the edge at the end there is just that much more of an added knife twist in my heart 😭😭😭
thats... wow... i'm speechless
... amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome work still as tear wrenchingg as day one
Such a beautiful song that you do so much justice
When I first arrived in this area of the game the music was static not very clear but the further you got it started to clear up, I have to admit when I heard the song I did get teary. You done a awesome cover of this song fellow warrior of light.
Very beautiful version, you have a great voice
Great work! Sounds and looks just awesome!
This song hits hard no matter how I hear it, and your version is awesome.
It's been ages since I played through Endwalker, but this song made me cry anyway. Thank you for sharing the results of your time and effort with us!
Great music 👍💯. Great talent.
This was incredible, first time hearing of Lollia or Sleeping Forest, and I am not disappointed 💜😭
Kinda hoping we'll hear a full version of To The Edge in this style. Love the mashed-up parts!
like rain falling gently; soothing, refreshing and washing away my fears and doubts. amazing cover lollia! forge ahead my friend!
Wow, and they merged perfectly. Beautiful work.
Thank you for making this.
Oh that was really nice. Ending was a nice touch.
woww pretty good!! love it!
😭😭😭😭 so gooood!
@lollia ya got me to tear with this cover, well done babe
God, this music video is so good, as is your cover. Love it!
I wish I could get this vocal track for a synthwave/retrowave version. I love her use of the WoL Shadowbringers backup vocals. Genius.
AAAAAAA This is so good T^T I love your take on this
Wow wasn’t expecting that medley. Nicely done.
this was absolutely beautiful from the beginning and a powerful build up to "tales of loss and fire and faith"...and then To The Edge. Holy crap. I was blown away. I'd also love to hear you do the full To The Edge now.
Powerful!
How DARE you put To The Edge in this too I'm not emotionally stable enough for this shit
I wasn't ready to feel this early in the day. Beautiful cover, btw.
listening to this makes me feel like i'm going on that emotional walk again
J'ai rarement ressenti de tels frissons de bonheur en écoutant une chanson ! J'adore déjà l'originale, et cette reprise est encore plus belle ! Merci merci merci !!!
Beautiful cover. Once again, you blow me away with your FFXIV covers. I seriously rarely hear good FFXIV covers on par with the quality of yours. Its also rare that i enjoy when people mix two songs in one of their covers, i love it. So please let me say. May you sing in the light of the crystal!
To the edge at the end was amazing little addition. And so happy you chose the absolute best lyrics from the track. You smashed it 👊🏼
mixing in to the edge at the end was brilliant!
First of all this is perfection.
But most importantly the person whoever mixed this is a legend. The mixing is unbelievably good.
This song still brings tears to my eyes
You really nailed this song. Like seriously your timing, cadence, and intensity was just spot on, and I really love how dedicated you are with your covers. You sing in a way that really captures the essence of the original track, and it’s just amazing to me how well you do it.
